Collision on Highway 26 in Clearview leaves two dead, four injured

Two people are dead and four others injured following a multi-vehicle crash near Collingwood on Friday night.

The two-car crash happened shortly after 10 p.m. on Highway 26 in Stayner, within Clearview Township. Clearview firefighters had to extricate all the victims from their vehicles following the head-on crash.

Two of the six victims were pronounced dead on scene, while four others were injured. Three were transferred to a Toronto hospital in critical condition. The highway north of Stayner was closed for the police investigation.

The OPP confirmed that weather was a factor in the crash. Strong winds and snow affected much of southern Ontario throughout the night, with temperatures in Clearview reaching a low of -10C early Saturday morning.
